Jaune was only worried about two things in life; graduating from high school and dodging his hated bully. He didn't care about the supernatural, nor believe in it. But a chance encounter with a mysterious girl in red will open his eyes to a world that lives beside our own, a dangerous and deadly secret. But beware, child, for eyes once opened to the truth may never again be closed.

Victory can prove bitter, especially when you're the only one alive to see it. With the world in chaos and everyone he ever loved dead, Jaune Arc makes a deal with the devil for one last chance to go back and change it all. But devils don't play by the same rules as humans, and Salem never did say how far back he'd go. Or how much deeper the war between her and Ozpin really went.

In the wake of the fall Team RNJR sets out to bring Cinder Fall to justice while the new Fall Maiden overlooks her master's plan in Haven City. Meanwhile Weiss tries to help a friend, Yang struggles with the loss of her arm, and Blake deals with guilt over the White Fang. Meanwhile someone from Cinder's past returns and Salem's newest pawn rises. Arkos, WhiteRose, SunnyBees, Renora

When Jaune's forged transcripts were rebuffed, his only option was to return home in disgrace or forge a new life in Vale. Opening a diner was an impetuous decision, being good at it a stroke of luck. Becoming the favourite haunt for students, teachers and criminals alike…? That was neither, but it sure did keep things interesting. Wasn't the civilian life supposed to be easier?

Jaune had always dreamed of being a Hero, of being someone. But dreams were just that; for in the world of Remnant the Class you are born with determines your fate. Jaune was born a Blacksmith, and thus that was his destiny. But when a strange opportunity allows him to change that, can a simple Blacksmith become something more within the Beacon Academy for Heroes?

Between Volumes 2 and 3 the members of team RWBY and JNPR are taken to a mysterious location and shown videos of the past and future.

During a routine mission teams RWBY & JNPR encounter a Grimm unlike any they've ever seen. The encounter comes at the cost of Jaune's life. After a lengthy search all that is found of him are his weapons and right arm. One year later a strange vigilante appears sporting a metal right arm & calling himself Archangel. Who is this this man and what is his apparent interest in Weiss?

Jaune Arc wanted to be a hero. To help people, protect them. But destiny had other ideas, unfortunately, and he was born with a body broken to the point he couldn't. Instead, he sought a different way to help people. If he could not wield the weapons of Man to protect Man, then he would make them for others to wield in his stead.

Weiss has been living as a woman for years now, and at Beacon, she could forget that she was transgender. After she is outed in a cruel fashion, Weiss longs for acceptance, and even romance. Could it be that it was right in front of her this whole time? (Transgender Weiss, White Knight) Cover art by DoodleCraftie. Story rated 'M' for violence, language, and sexual situations.

After returning from a whole weekend in Mistral going through paperwork and meetings with her sponsors, Jaune could say that he had never seen Pyrrha so tired before; after all, combat classes, Grimm attacks or even Nora's hyperactivity couldn't knock her down. So, after seeing her struggling to even keep her eyes open, Jaune decided to take the matter into his own hands.

AU. Pyrrha is Nora's best friend. Jaune is Ren's best friend. And Nora and Ren, childhood friends-turned-housemates, have been dating for probably the last ten years, although they'd never figure that out on their own. So, it's time for Pyrrha and Jaune- acquaintances with the same goal- to team up and make their friends get… together-together. It'll be fine, right? Arkos, Renora.

AU. Pyrrha is on a full-ride for varsity track, the poster child for the university. She really shouldn't be buying junk food every day from shady convenience stores far from the dorms- but there's just the cutest blond who keeps falling apart on the night shift, and whenever she buys chocolate from him he smiles, so… yeah. Late nights and junk food and baby-blue eyes it is. Arkos.

The story will cover 4 years of RWBY and JNPR in their time at Beacon starting at volume 2 ep 7's end. Arkos Primary Fic. Cinder never attacks Beacon. The group deals with problems as they arise and grow into the Huntsmen and Huntresses they are destined to become. Cover Art by AgentWhiteHawk DeviantArt.

Forced to admit that Crocea Mors didn't feel right in his hands—no matter how he held it—Jaune Arc struggled to overcome this obstacle through the insane idea that Aura could become more than just the armor that protected him. Barriers broke as he pushed past the limits of what Aura was capable of, creating and forging his very own weapons from the manifestation of his soul.

There was no one left. They had lost the war. Salem had destroyed Vale, Mistral, Atlas, and Vacuo. Years later, Jaune, Ruby, and Weiss are all that remains of the Huntsmen. After losing to Salem in their third and final battle, the team escapes with their lives and decide to bet everything on Weiss's ability to send them back in time. Mystery Jaune pairing. Also, White-rose.

So here's the deal, Miss Nikos: You are about to die. You know this, I know this, she knows this. In the next breath your life will end. Know that this is your doom. Your destiny. Here you will die as decreed by those who spin the strands of fate. Know also that in this one moment I can defy this fate. For a price.

"My sister thinks we're dating and she was really excited about it and I panicked and didn't deny it!" "What?" "See? Isn't that funny?"

It didn't take long for Weiss Schnee to be sick of Jaune Arc's constant attempts at courting her, but when the young blond approaches her regarding something other than a date, what does this mean for the Schnee heiress? A tale of an unlikely friendship, and an even less likely romance. White Knight.

Life isn't always fair. Sometimes it feels like the world is targeting you. In the end some people are dealt a bad hand in life while others are dealt a winning hand. Other times a dimension hopping Troll deals you a hand that will change your life forever.

Jaune helps Pyrrha with her hair.

Combat schools spend millions on creating the newest generation of Hunters. They had forgotten the old way, the hard way...the right way.

Jaune wasn't a very skilled individual, often in the shadow of his talented seven sisters. Yet despite his lack of ability, he was desperate to contribute to his family name in some capacity. It was then that he discovered another role on the battlefield against the Grimm - as a field medic. In his second year at medical school, Jaune is handpicked to follow a team at Beacon.

In the world of Remnant, Dragon Riders are all that stand between civilians and the creatures of Grimm. During a time when the rights of dragons are still in question, illegal hybrids are being bred for shady purposes, and a rise in egg thefts has been reported, the new students at Beacon Dragonry will have their hands full simply keeping their partners safe. (DISCONTINUED)

The Dragonborn had saved Skyrim, ended the Civil War and performed every little favour for every little quest-giver, overall - there was nothing left to do. However, when a new threat arises in the form of an ancient vampire and a plot to put out the sun, The Dragonborn is called back to duty and must save the world once more. My OC!DragonbornxSerana, romance/lemons.

Pyrrha's death was still a recent pain. A pain Jaune still couldn't let go, but that wasn't the focus at the moment. He had something more important to deal with. (A short one off based off an art piece made by dishwasher1910)

They weren't lovers. They certainly weren't friends. At best, they qualified as acquaintances. However, one crazy night changes all of that. Pretending it didn't happen would have been the smart choice. Unfortunately, neither Blake nor Jaune is all that good at making smart choices.

In which Jaune is a dog faunus, and he likes head pats.

Jaune Arc and Cinder Fall. A Soldier and a Maiden. Two people, too damaged and broken to ever be normal. To ever feel love of a healthy human being. But as long as they are together, they don't need anyone else.

Nothing was going right for Jaune. Weiss and Neptune getting closer awakened an uncomfortable emotion he thought he had buried long ago. Not only that, his father had found out he was at Beacon and demanded him to return home. Faced with the risk of expulsion once again, Jaune has to dig deep inside of him to weather the storm. However, not all was what it seems.—AU/MinorCrossover—

"'There's a price for everything," Selim countered. 'If you take away then you have to give back in equal measure. That's the law of the universe.' 'The law of alchemy,' Edward corrected, straightening up. 'Not of the universe.'" In which Selim learns the truth, and possibly some of the Truth.

When Jaune Arc is forced to move out and live in a tiny apartment after high school, he thinks his future couldn't be any bleaker. When Pyrrha Nikos, dodging the media, moves into a deluxe apartment to raise her new daughter away from judgemental eyes, she doesn't know what to expect. Could they possibly be the answer to each other's prayers? (Commission for D. KnightOfShadows.)

In a world filled with uncertainty, two lost souls are struggling to find their way: Weiss Schnee, a lonely heiress kept in a gilded cage, and Yang Xiao Long, an impulsive brawler who supports her family by fighting in makeshift rings for coin. In a single, chance encounter, their souls are bound together, setting them on the same path toward a better future. (Soulmate/Dæmon AU.)

SEQUEL to The Wolf in December. Beacon's second semester begins, and its newest professor is faced with several challenges, not least of which is figuring out exactly what he's teaching. But teaching may be the least of his worries, with the forces now at work across Remnant. A storm is brewing, and Geralt will face it as he always has-with research, preparation, and silver.

Pyrrha was good at reading people. It was the result of years of combat training. In a battle, being able to predict what move an opponent is going to make just by looking at their eyes and body posture is the key to being a great warrior. So when Jaune started acting differently when it came to her, she noticed almost immediately. Cover art (and inspiration) by mrk50 on tumblr.

Everyone is born knowing exactly how long their life will be. For Winter, she has 27 years, 6 months, and 3 days. Her 27th birthday is a muted affair but then she meets Yang, and suddenly the 6 months she has left just isn't enough. Is it possible to beat destiny?

Jaune Arc, Field Agent of the VSS - Vale's Secret Service, or at least that's what he's been told. All he knows is that they found out about his faked transcripts, and now he works in the interests of the Kingdom. With terrorists on the horizon, not to mention a shady organisation and an even shadier group operating under Ozpin, what's a bumbling teen turned secret agent to do?

Meeting for the first time at Beacon Academy, Ruby and Weiss can't help but feel that they know each other from somewhere. Each new day together brings stronger feelings towards that being the case. They just need to figure out where they knew each other from, and why they can't remember it anymore. (A sequel to No Roses Grow in Hell)

Yang wasn't used to leadership, but she wasn't going to accept Ozpin's suggestion of mandatory rest either. Not when it meant losing her spot on Team RWBY. If she had to lead a rookie squad of police officers against the White Fang to prove she could still fight, then so be it. Too bad no one told her the VSPR was made up of Vale's worst criminals, many of which she knew by name.

Jaune needed to get something off his chest. He needed to let Pyrrha know how he felt and if there was one thing learned during his first year at Beacon, it was that he couldn't get it wrong if it was the truth. (WARNING: SEXUAL THEMES)

The picture was of a young boy, maybe around Oscar's age, with the same white hair and blue eyes as Weiss. "You have a brother?" It was all Yang could think to say. Then she glanced down and read the text. It was four letters, all lower case, with no punctuation: help

A Schnee can never show weakness, especially in front of their peers. Even if Weiss hates anything scary, she must play the part so her team can never find out her dark secret. If only a certain doofus wasn't around to overhear how much she loved horror movies…

Miss Riza's arrival in Resembool has the potential to ruin everything. [Royai, FMA:B AU]

Everyone has words on their wrist that help reveal who their soulmate is. It's always something they say, whether it's the first thing, the last thing, or the words that touch your heart. Ruby never thought that Weiss would be the one to say her words. Now what does she do? White Rose Week Day 2: Soulmate AU. White Rose, Bumbleby, Arkos.

Summer and Ruby were in a car accident, but one didn't make it out alive. Qrow is left with a daughter he never got the chance to know and one more opportunity not to mess everything in his life up (again). The kicker is, Ruby has no idea that her new caretaker is actually her father. How will the two of them ever learn to live with each other in Summer's absence.

Weiss is too short to do things. Jaune is too sick to do things. What should they do then? I guess they'll just have to do things together. Now an anthology!

Jaune was a hunter, hunting animals from a young age. Not Grimm, and never people. Not like the so-called 'real' Hunters he wanted nothing to do with. But when an absent sister asks him to help rescue a missing student, Jaune Arc and Lie Ren will both have to put aside their differences and learn what it means to be true Huntsmen if they're to survive the Grimmlands.

When two soulmates fall in love, a red string appears between them, manifesting their eternal bond. Though the string may stretch with distance, it will never break. (Collection of Soulmate AU oneshots, multiple pairings)

Someone's "first". To some it means nothing, to others it's everything. Jaune Arc didn't know how much his own "first" mattered, however, he knew that he wanted to make sure Yang's "first" was as perfect as he could possibly make it!

They always did have the worst luck when it came to traveling. It seemed only natural that they'd end up trapped in a cabin while a blizzard raged around them. But how long until their feelings finally come to a boil and they make the leap from work partners to life partners. Jaune x Pyrrha Aroks, fluff, One-shot

Weiss must marry by the end of the month, but she hates the very idea. To stop it, she gives her father what she thinks is an impossible challenge. But perhaps, it's not so impossible after all.

Weiss wants a facial.

[Post Volume 5] In hindsight, she should have expected it. They'd spent so much time saving each other, and they'd grown closer as a result. And yet, here she was, proving that he could still surprise her.

Yang and Weiss have just arrived in Mistral and are reminiscing with the others when Yang notices that things have changed. Within Jaune she can see the hurt he hides, only because she does the same.

Once again, it was here. Her heat. She could feel it in her body, growing more intense with every day that passed, but this year it wasn't like the others. This time, things were different. Her feelings were different. For the first time in her life, Blake had gone into heat while in love with someone else, and now both her body and her heart wanted only one thing: Jaune Arc.

Jaune's seven sisters are possessed by the swords passed down the Arc family lineage and it is now up to him to save them.

Of all the semblances Jaune could have had, he never expected mind reading to be one of them. Not that he was complaining, as his newfound ability had just made his life a whole lot more easier. But all power has a cost. And some places are better left unexplored...

AU. "The village is being attacked," Sarutobi said against his better judgment, he was taking too long as it was, too long away from the front lines.

When Jaune woke up back in his house with his sisters and family, all he could do was sigh. Every time he died he was forced to start over again, and this was what... the one thousandth time? More? If it doesn't matter how hard he tries, doesn't matter how much he fights. Then maybe it's time to just kick back and enjoy himself. Fate can find someone else to be its whipping boy.

Jaune has always considered himself a "glass half full" kind of guy. When his memories are lost, perhaps he'll finally be able to live up to his potential? A bowl is most useful when it's empty after all. Armed with his wits, and sick dance moves, he and his friends may just save Remnant and make some brand new memories along the way.

Five times Jaune Arc found himself wrapped up in Ruby Rose's iconic cloak, and each time he was more grateful for it than the last.

Prequel to 'The Letters': For those I love, I will sacrifice. That's the creed of the Huntsmen - a special operations unit with a proud history within Vale's military.

She's always had a hard time growing close to people and trusting them, but now she's at Beacon and has to let two new people into her life. She wasn't sure what to expect from her new teammates. But she certainly wasn't quite expecting someone like Fox.

Weiss's existence had always been dark. At least, until an angel brought a bit of light into it.

Jaune and Pyrrha enjoy a little downtime as friends. Set shortly after 'Dance Dance Infiltration'.

As far as Fox was concerned, soulmarks and soulmates were overrated. It's not like he'd know if he got a soulmark anyway - and everyone knew that Faunus didn't have soulmarks, so why worry about it when his crush wouldn't have one regardless?

Is this the time for a confession?

We change. We grow. We live. We fight. We love. But, we will always stick together because we're the socially awkward. Pairing: Lancaster

"How do you think I felt when you almost died in my arms? I've seen you die once, Lucy, and I thought it was the hardest thing I would ever witness. But I was wrong! I was very wrong…" - In which Natsu refuses to speak to Lucy after she almost dies in his arms, but she is determined to confront him about it. Starts angst-y, gets fluffy. Nalu smut. [Corrected & Improved]

She sat alone, and Jaune knew he couldn't just pretend nothing was wrong. If Pyrrha had helped him without thinking twice, it was up to him to return the favor and be there for her. He sat down beside her and asked if there was anything he could do, and in doing so eased her worries. That was when everything changed. This is his second chance. And he will be sure to not waste it.

Who needs the Beacon Dance when you're an awkward mess who fumbles his way through life to get the girl of his dreams? Don't we all wish we could be that lucky? Ruby/Jaune one-shot.

Qrow tells Summer a story...

Two-shot, AU. Jaune has discovered a passion he thought was lost to the ages, one that he hasn't been able to practice ever since he left home to go to Beacon; braiding and hairstyling. Oh how he has missed the feel of soft strands of hair in his hands as he creates works of art with his fingers. However, there's still someone who he hasn't been able to work with.../Max-Lone-Combo.

After a night with Winter, Qrow finds himself in a situation where he is forced to tell Winter a long painful story from his life.

"It'll heal, just give it a minute," she rasped, grasping his slick hand with far less strength than she had a just few moments ago, "It's fine."

Becoming the next Fall Maiden was Pyrrha's destiny...or was it? What if Professor Ozpin was wrong, and Pyrrha's true destiny lay far beyond the Battle for Beacon?

HEAVY SPOILERS FOR ANYONE HASN'T SEEN THE FINAL EPISODE OF VOLUME 3 OF RWBY: This is my own AU for how I think the final episode should have ended. This is either going to be a one shot story or a short one. Depends if I have anymore ideas. But please, read, review and enjoy.

The crow flies away, hoping to return another day. But as it foolishly flies, it's heart withers and dies. Moncon entry.

Ren wasn't sure when it started. Actually that was a lie, he knew exactly when he had become interested in his best friend (even if he hadn't known it at the time). Not to say he wasn't interested before, but as Nora would put it he wasn't interested interested. Rated for undetailed lemons. Oneshot.

A simple task to give a three year old while she waits for her mother. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. Easy. But as life would have it, forever is a lot more than seven. To many to count, and a lot more painful.

There must be a limit to how innocent and naive their team leaders can be can be. There must be. But until it's found... (Oneshot)

For the entirety of his three years at Beacon, Jaune has not won a single practice duel against his classmates. When Pyrrha convinces Blake to help her find out why, they discover his rare semblance- and all the danger that comes with it. New cover art by the talented Exvnir!

What would happen if Maria and the Hunter joined forces? Set in a Old Hunter's AU where the Hunter never kills Maria, but instead, befriends her. The two set out together to overcome the Nightmare and to bring an end to the cries of Kos. Features a Female Hunter.

Nora can't take it anymore. She's watched Pyrrha and Jaune's relationship continue to stagnate even after the Beacon Dance, and she's had enough of it. So, she hatches a desperate, possibly illegal plan to get the two to finally have a serious talk about their feelings for each other. March MonCon, Oneshot, Arkos

In which Nora finds a letter Ren wrote to her and confronts him about it. Fluff and some sadness; mentions of death but no death within the story. Spoilers for the end of season 3! Renora; cover art by my sempai.

Stories may not always have a happy ending, but at least some chapter within those stories can. March Moncon Entry, Post-volume 3 AU

A little slice of life piece that turns amorous. (Explicit. Arkos.)

A day in the life of Pyrrha Nikos during her third year at Becon.

"It's just James' birthday," he protested, his scarf clutched in one hand and a tie in the other, "I hardly think he's going to mind-"

He wasn't angry at her for being rejected. No, not at all. He was, however getting really sick of being called a dunce. Evil? Yes, but revenge is a dish best served through proxy. Popcorn, anyone? (One-shot. Slight Arkos. Slight Weiss-bashing. Heavy physical Weiss bashing.)

Opening the door Weiss closed her eyes and sighed tiredly. What she saw when she opened them was a sight quite unexpected, but it wasn't surprising. "Is there a reason you're naked in my bed?" Prompt by Hopelessly-Into-Ladies on tumblr. Henceforward AU.

Waking up after two years, maybe there is still hope for a happy ending for Pyrrha after all... [Entry for r/RWBY's March MonCon]

Yang's 18th birthday goes differently than she expected though that's not necessarily a bad thing. (Set after Volume 3, Volume 3 spoilers).

Everyone knew Pyrrha Nikos, but no one really knew the real her. A doom-driven Hero, seeking to meet her Destiny, in the best way she could. That's who she was. When you have the expectations of the world upon you, it is a rare soul who doesn't tire and crumble. One shot, Semi-AU, in-Canon

Based on BlueStarlalight's idea regarding soulmates, what would happen if you discovered your soulmate was someone half your age, or vice versa? Well, the only way to find out something like that, is to test it...

Everyone on team JNPR knows that Ren can overwork himself sometimes and so he tends to sleep in unexpected places, but what happens when they try to look for him and he's nowhere to be seen? Based off of Monty and stories of him sleeping in weird places. Prompt from an anonymous tumblr user.

After the events of DMC 4, Dante visits his brother's grave. It gets messy when Nero shows up too. One shot.

In honor of Pyrrha Nikos. From Jaune's perspective, going back and forth from his memories to present-day. (Takes place after the death of Pyrrha and before the end of the episode.) RIP, Pyrrha. This made me cry writing this, and there is a good chance it will do the same for you. Warning: Spoilers and a lot of heartbreaking stuff. Rated T for character death and major grief.

"Yang knew her partner; she felt guilty. But she shouldn't. Yang didn't blame her. At all. The…the stump would take getting use to, but if she had Blake by her side then… well. And her dad was here as well. Ruby would soon be awake. And Qrow. She'd be fine. She just had to make sure Blake knew that as well."

"You will not always be strong, but you can always be brave." -Beau Taplin

When you lose a loved one, you feel three things, Regret, Uselessness, And, inevitably, Sadness. And they just come into this big ball and form one emotion, Grief.

Sometimes it's what isn't said that has the most meaning.

She rolled up her sleeves, exposing her pale forearms, covered in thin white lines. 'You think I got these marks in the military? I got them from protecting my sister because she didn't wear a necklace that he bought for her.' She shook her head and turned away. 'I've never been faced with an adversary that frightened me half as much as my father.' Qrowin, post Volume 3.

Pyrrha makes a different choice. Jaune wishes he could dream forever. Volume 3 major spoilers.

Shortly after 'The Breach' was stopped, Roman Torchwick captured and with the Vytal Festival just around the corner Blake Belladonna has to catch up on her school work and finds herself weary, stressed and more than a little confused as to why Yang is acting so weird. Yang however, she just wants to be there for her partner.

"Why do I love you?" This question haunts Winter's mind as she gazes at the unconscious drunk before her. Another question is why that hotel has a Cactuar statue in its lobby. She must put those questions aside, however, as she must deal with Qrow. (Qrow/Winter; Qrowin; Snowbirds)

Everyone copes with tragedy in their own ways and sometimes the only way to take a step forward is by waiting enough time for it to not be quite as unbearable as it used to be. Follows the individual parts of RWBY Jaune and how they felt during the time jump towards the end of the V3 finale, so there are spoilers.

Yang trusted her. She trusted and loved Blake with everything she had. But she left her behind. Just like everyone else in Yang's life, Blake left her, breaking Yang's heart. (T for cursing at the end)

Crows were known to pick things up. After the fall of Beacon, Qrow Branwen has to return three things to three blondes. A tiara, an arm, and a daughter.

Destructive emotions can do much to a person. Guilt can destroy them. Vengeance can consume them. Regret can kill them. Yet sometimes, those same emotions can drive a person beyond their limits, letting them accomplish feats that even great people could not. After all, those with nothing to lose have everything to gain. One shot. MASSIVE SPOILERS.

With everyone leaving her once more, there is only one person Yang wants to be with. Her mother. Summer Rose. She is the only person she wants to talk to and be with at the moment. Summer was the one who was always there for Yang, giving her hope and raising her.

After their squabble at Beacon, Winter seeks to make amends for her actions, but not just for their fight. No, Winter wants to fix what they broke a long time ago. She wants to fix what they once had.

It was Saturday because Ozpin's dreadfully cheery alarm tone hadn't woken her up already and because for once the sun was coming through the window instead of the dark that accompanied 5AM every other day of her week. Glynda stared at the ceiling for a few minutes, listening to Ozpin's steady breathing beside her and trying to muster the will to get out of bed. It wasn't working.

The death of Summer Rose left Qrow shattered for eternity.

Yang decides to interrogate our lovable Jaune regarding her sister. A Jaune x Ruby One-shot. Hi, not a one-shot anymore, expect some more chapters soon. :)

Jaune hates nice girls. Rated T for swearing and mentions of sex. Cold Moon because I AM SUCH A SLAVE TO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! Cover art belongs to none other than Kegi Springfield. I didn't ask for permission, but I hear he's a nice guy. Added a few things in the A/Ns because of people bitching.

The police are alright. But, hunters and huntresses are just so much more cooler and exciting, you know! For Season 3

Upon the shoulders of a Schnee rests the world. Ages of legends burden their purpose and olden nobility has eroded in time, yet amongst this family stands an outlier whose goal is to restore the honor that once existed.
